Bridles

Bridles are an important piece of tack as they represent a physical connection between horse and rider and often act as an important safety and control tool for the horse. We would always advise when buying a new bridle to ensure that it is fitted correctly and also to buy the best bridle that you can afford.

Cheap leather, buckles and fittings when subjected to wear and tear can often fault and can be a safety hazard for horse and rider. Our range of bridles are hand-picked buy our experienced team of buyers, and whilst we can’t prevent manufacturing faults occurring we ensure that every bridle we sell meets our high quality standards.

In recent years the design of the bridle has changed slightly, and while we still sell many traditional styles of bridle, we find that those which feature comfort headpieces and unique designs to provide more comfort for the horse are increasing in popularity.

About Us

Old Mill Saddlery is proudly a leading equestrian retailer based in the United Kingdom. The strengths of our business come from our core values which are to provide our customers with a quality shopping experience, outstanding customer care and selling only quality products at excellent value.

Old Mill Saddlery started out in 1985, when our Managing Director Robert Patton spotted a niche for supplying, manufacturing and repairing horse wear and tack. Robert has an extensive background with horses, show jumping ponies from the age of ten and moving on to point-to-point riding at sixteen. Robert continued to ride over the next twenty years and was lucky enough to win a Northern Championship in 1999.

Robert still remains very active within the business, overseeing every aspect of the company and providing an extremely attentive saddle fitting service. You can read more about our saddle fitting services "here.

Over the past number of years we have gone from strength to strength, always keeping to our core values of quality, customer care and value for money. In 2008 we opened the doors of our superstore based in Ballycarry, County Antrim which gave us the opportunity to display our extensive range of horse, rider and pet wear.

Our business has continued to expand and in 2015 we began construction for a second warehouse to accommodate our extensive range of stock which hosts a range of equestrian brands including Ariat, Horseware, Samshield, Freejump, Mountain Horse, Dubarry, Caldene, Toggi, Equine America, Horse First and Pikeur to name but a few.
